Then the shooter starts at the chair and then sprints to the half court line then back to the chair in a low squared up position with his wrist back in shooting mode so he can pick the ball up snatch it back and shoot. Repeat on both sides of the three point line. Continue untill shooter MAKES 10-15 shots. then shooter rotates to rebounder and rebounder to the player who sets the ball up on the chair. Then the chair boy rotates to shooter.

Shooter will learn to be in shooting position squared low center of gravity so when he/she catches then elevate then shoot. Catch n' shoot.
